The following text was written in the context of the Carbon versus Silicon think tank, gathering artists and scientists at the Banff Centre in 2003. During the conference, I was impressed by the high scientific level of the participants, and I felt embarrassed by my position as an artist, hardly trying to get the big picture. I was just wondering about the legitimacy of most of the graphic representations of the nano world that was for me more interpretations and justifications of theories, as if one would be trying to persuade the audience of the credibility of a desirable fiction.
I decided to do a performance for my conference. The text of my power point presentation should be at the same time and the definition of an art project questioning the scientific and/or aesthetic issues of the emerging nanotechnologies.

Probably because of the complexity of its features, this project has never been done.

Bored by a vision of the world dominated by B2B (Business to Business) and B2C (Business to Consumer) that seem for so many people to be the only way to consider human interactions, I would like to start a series of works called H2H: Human to Human.

The first work of the series would be the manhole covered by a used carpet during Paris FIAC (Foire Internationale d’art Contemporain) 2010. I felt compelled by this reversed foot print, drawn by the visitors of this exhibition where art is for sale. I started thinking of an “interaction design” process: every time a foot touches what I consider as an “interaction zone” I would trigger my photo camera. This very simple human driven interaction process takes an external input to connect two actions: stepping/clicking making me the slave of the program. STEP and SHOOT.

The easy way: The exhibition could have walls covered with big artists’ names.
or: to exhibit unknown artists with names that sound close to the big names from the art history (van Gogh, Delacroix, de Vinci, Mondrian…)

After the Dump exhibition at Łaźnia presenting works inspired by the Dump projects made by other artists, I like the idea that I could be inspired back by the resulting artworks and define new projects to be dumped or done.

I thought again about what could be a Dumped project done to be hacked. Thinking also at the same time of the Never Ending Story, Try to make the world more intelligible, even if for you it is totally unintelligible presented by Agnieszka Chojnacka an interesting brilliantly done sound interpretation of the project Black Hole from the Dump. I propose to produce the Never Ending Project as a Dump post written in a way that the reader would be invited, before reading the project, to replace words of the project post by themselves. The description of the project would permanently change and become the result of every participant’s experience. Done at different period of its evolution, this project would open to an unlimited variety of works.

The most difficult thing is to write its structure in a way that would keep consistent the resulting reader-altered proposal.

PS. My previous web work using evolving open text is and what about me? 2 (1996) where we are invited to help rewriting the Genesis first seven days.
